In a letter to the National Post, Gary Mauser claims that It should not surprise many people that Canada's gun laws have not worked (More Gun Control Isn't The Answer, John R. Lott Jr., June 15). Anyone living in a big Canadian city has witnessed the horrifying increase in violent crime over the past decade.
However, if you examine a graph of Canada's violent crime rate: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~lambert/cgi-bin/blog/2004/06#mauser you will see that it has decreased over the past decade. And Mauser cannot claim to be unaware of this since the graph comes from Mauser's own paper.
